When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in
the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.
When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a
wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if
recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible
due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.
The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully charged state
or in high temperatures.
If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the
battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.
The AC plug adapter D-PL135 is designed for exclusive use with the Power
Adapter D-PA135. Do not use it with other devices.
Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken
regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or
pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof
performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is
subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is
subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure, take your camera to
your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
The temperature range in which the camera can be used is -10°C to 40°C (14°F
to 104°F).
The display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at
normal temperatures.

write-protected.
Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately
after using the camera, as the card may be hot.
Keep the battery cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory Card or
turn the camera off while the data is being played back or saved to the
card, or the camera is connected to a computer with the USB cable, as this
may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it
away from water and store away from high temperature.
Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage
the card and render it unusable.
The data on the SD Memory Card may be lost in the following
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical
interference.
(3) when the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the SD Memory Card is ejected or the batteries are removed

Regarding Waterproof, Dustproof, and
Shockproof Design
This camera is provided with a waterproof/dustproof design complying with JIS
waterproof grade 8 and JIS dustproof grade 6 (equivalent to IP68).
The camera satisfies the PENTAX drop test (2.0 m height onto a 5 cm thick
plywood surface) complying with MIL-Standard 810F Method 516.5-Shock
testing.
The camera satisfies the PENTAX test for the waterproof, dustproof, and
shockproof performance, but this does not guarantee it will remain free of
trouble or damages.
Waterproof performance is not guaranteed if the camera is exposed to impact
such as being dropped or hit.
Make sure that there are no cracks or scratches on the rubber seal of the
battery cover.
Make sure that there are no foreign objects (dust, sand, hair, lint or liquid) on the
rubber seal or the surface they contact before closing the battery cover. Wipe
off any foreign objects with a clean lint-free cloth.
Close the battery cover properly. Otherwise water may get in and damage the
camera.
Precautions Before Using the Camera in the
Water
Check the Following Before Going Near the Water
Contact surface
Waterproof seal
9
Avoid opening the battery cover when near the waterside or with wet hands.
When changing the battery or the SD Memory Card, avoid places where the
camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that the camera and your
hands are completely dry.
The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap to the
camera and wrap it around your wrist when using the camera in or near water.
To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens is
protected by glass. The glass should be kept clean at all times, as any dirt or
water on the glass will affect the quality of pictures taken.
Do not use the camera deeper than 14 meters underwater. Do not use the
camera underwater for more than 120 minutes consecutively.
Do not open the battery cover underwater.
Do not use the camera in hot water or in a hot spring.
Do not apply excessive force to the camera, for example diving into water with
it. Doing so may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera or
cause the cover to open.
Do not leave the camera on the sand at the beach, as this may cause the
camera to exceed the upper limit of its operational temperature range, or cause
the speaker or microphone to become blocked with sand.
Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as
this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is subjected to
substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest
PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause discoloration
of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off immediately with warm
water.
Sudden and extreme changes in temperature may cause condensation to form
in and on the camera. Keep the camera in a bag or case to reduce the
difference in temperature.
Be Careful Near the Water
Precautions When Using the Camera in the Water
10
Do not open the battery cover if the camera is wet. Wipe off any water with a
clean lint-free cloth.
The inside surface of the cover may get wet when it is opened. Wipe off any
water that is on the cover.
Wiping off the camera while there is sand or dust on it may scratch the surface
of the camera. Make sure that the battery cover is firmly closed before washing
the camera in tap water. After washing the camera, dry it with a soft cloth.
Wipe off any dirt or sand on the waterproof seal or the contact surface. The
camera’s waterproof performance may be compromised by a loose seal, or
cracks or dents on the seal or the contact surface. If there is any such damage,
contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.
If the camera becomes very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure
that it is turned off and the battery cover is firmly closed before rinsing it under
running tap water or leaving it in a bowl of clean water for a short time (2 or 3
minutes).
Avoid cleaning with agents such as soapy water, mild detergents, or alcohol as
this may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera.
To maintain the waterproof performance of the camera, you are recommended
to change the waterproof seal once a year. Contact your nearest PENTAX
Service Center regarding changing the seal. (A charge will be made.)
The camera’s accessories are not waterproof.
